Virtual Kentucky Agricultural Training School (KATS) Sessions Due to COVID 19

Author: Edwin Ritchey

Planning Unit: Wildcat County CES (demo only)

Major Program: Water and Soil Quality and Conservation

Outcome: Initial Outcome

A shift in delivery methods occurred when normal operations were disrupted by COVID 19. The format shifted from hands-on to virtual. The Coffee KATS video series was started and resulted in 18 YouTube videos covering many aspects of production agriculture from soil testing and fertilizer recommendations to pesticide applications and effectiveness. The Spray Clinic is a staple program of KATS. This year it was presented in an electronic format via Facebook Live. There were over 600 views for this program. We adapted to the COVID 19 environment as able to provide information to our clientele.
